This is a compilation of all the ferry schedules and fares from Bacolod to Iloilo and Iloilo to Bacolod for OceanJet, SuperCat 2GO, Weesam Express, and FastCat. I want to make it easier for people to compare ship rates and departure times. My sister travels between Bacolod and Iloilo every month for her curricular activities.
Are you only looking for the Fast Craft Schedules and Fares?
The total travel time is 1 hour and 30 minutes or less depending on the ferry or fast craft you choose. Since she was already familiar with the trips, I’ve asked her to take note of the schedules and fares every time she travels. I will also check for any changes myself when I can. The four ferries to choose from all have daily trips.
The total ferry fare depends on which ship you take. The more expensive ones are the ones with better accommodations. I’ve also included the terminal fees for the Bacolod and Iloilo ports. These are required to enter the terminal.
